Protecting the Environment

Avient 致力于通过应对气候变化、保护自然资源和防止污染来保护环境。Through our environmental aspect and impact assessments within our RC14001 EH&S Management System, we have focused on the following key topics: 能源、排放和气候变化，以及我们运营产生的污水和废弃物。

The EH&S Committee of the Board of Directors provided oversight of the systems in place to monitor and mitigate risk associated with these key topics in 2024*. Avient 的企业 EH&S 部门根据相关管理体系标准，制定战略并监控绩效。在执行方面而言，每个业务部门和运营工厂承担全部运营责任。To ensure performance expectations are met, each site has trained management personnel to oversee their systems. To drive engagement at all levels of the organization, financial incentives for all salaried personnel are partially tied to energy intensity and waste intensity targets. To ensure the ongoing prioritization of capital projects that drive energy, waste, and water efficiency, Avient has implemented a system to identify and centrally fund projects with the greatest impact on our sustainability goals.

*For more information on changes to the EH&S Committee in 2025, refer to the Governance section of the Sustainability Report.

可再生能源更新

Reducing consumption from non-renewable energy sources is a key part of Avient’s path to carbon neutrality by 2050. We set an interim 2030 goal to attain 60% of our electricity from renewable sources. In 2023, we met this goal reaching 62% electricity being from renewable sources by leveraging virtual power purchase agreements among other sourcing initiatives.
